Hello friends! Hope you guys had a good weekend! I can’t believe it’s already Monday! Blah! But at least I got meet up with my buddy Molly again!

We were up to our usual antics but this time I was a bit more mischievous and my humom was not pleased.

So…There’s a part of the field where there is a line of planters with some DELICIOUS greens. Usually Molly and I like to munch on them, it’s like a yummy salad bar just waiting for us to gorge on! I also like to play hide and seek with Molly as well.

Can you see me?? I’m hidden pretty well 😉

Molly: Hey Mia! Where did you go? I can’t see you!

Molly: There you are! Are you going to come out??

Yup…there I was…deep in the dirt. I dug a little trench to lay in. My humom was SO MAD. She kept yelling “That’s it! You’re getting a big soapy bath tonight!!!” (Was it worth it?…That’s still up for debate)

In my defense…it gets pretty hot playing with Molly! I work up a pretty big sweat! Wait…do dogs even sweat?…Well you know what I mean…

Molly: C’mon Mia! Let’s go play!

Mia: Nah…I’m going to chill here for a bit…

Molly: Aww…okay fine…I guess I’ll just sniff for some green stuff in here…

Heehee…Now to sneak out and get a head start!

Molly: Hey no fair! Wait up!

We got back to our regular scheduled wrestling…

….but I managed to get Molly’s rainbow collar off! Ooopsie! Molly’s hudad was very impressed. He said that had never happened before!

Bruno is an American Bulldog mix and he’s about 8 years old. He didn’t have a great life as he got older. His previous family left him in a closet all day, up to almost 10 hours a day! They decided to surrender him to the SPCA and that’s where my Auntie Sandra and her husband found him and adopted him! I’m so happy they did because he has such a great life now. You should check out his adventures on his Instagram account right here!

Auntie Sandra has been friends with my humom for almost 20 years! She even took care of me once when I was a little pup! You can see my Instagram video here:

Auntie Sandra and my humom like to meet up every once in a while and go for walks (with us dogs of course!). Bruno recently got a new little human sister so once his family got settled in, we met up for another walk.

At first I was a little scared of Bruno…I guess I forgot how much bigger he is than me!

Isn’t he adorable??? Just look at that face! He may be big but he’s a loving gentle giant.

Eventually I got more comfortable with him and of course that’s when my humom took the opportunity to get more pictures. *Rolleyes*

Bruno: Hey Mia, is that a squirrel over there??

Mia: Probably! Let’s go check it out after this silly photoshoot!

Bruno is so photogenic! And look at those puppy dog eyes! My humom always gushes over him because he has the cutest face and the softest fur!

Hey wait up Bruno!

We didn’t play together on the trails but we still enjoyed each others company.

When we were heading back to the car Bruno didn’t want to go home!

Bruno: Hey guys, where are you going?? Let’s go this way!

Sadly the walk had to come to an end but my humom reassured me that we would see Bruno again soon!

Do you remember when I introduced to you to my fellow bully buddy Molly?? If you missed that post you can check it out here.

Well my humom and Molly’s hudad organized a playdate for us!

I was trying to be patient while waiting for them to get here.

Is that her??? Oh…I guess not…

When Molly finally got here it was like time had never passed and we were up to our usual chasing and wrestling. You can hear the snorting when we play, that’s why they call us Piggy and Piglet. My humom really likes it when I get to play with other bully breeds because we have the same play style. Sometimes in the forest when I try to play with other dogs, their humans get scared because they are not familiar with my kind of wrestling play style. Bully breeds tend to be more playful with our mouths, and though it may look vicious it’s really not!

We played for 2.5 hours!!! We did have to take a few breaks but we could have played all afternoon!

If you think I have a long tongue, Molly’s tongue is much longer! BOL!

Taking a break! Even though it was in the early evening, it was still quite hot!

Usually when I’m playing with Wilhelmina I’m always chasing her but when I play with Molly she always chases me!

The humans decided that it was time to go home because they knew we would just continue taking short breaks and start playing again and again well into the night!

Vancouver, BC is known to have a lot of rain so when we get a period of hot summer weather many Vancouverites take advantage of it and head out to the beach!

My humom’s friends called us up and asked if we wanted to head to the beach with their little person Kaylie. I met Kaylie once last year when I was still a young puppy.

Kaylie and her dad found a tiny hard shelled ocean spider on the beach! But she didn’t want to touch it. I don’t blame her! I probably would have eaten it.

While they went to look for more critters I was swimming after balls!

My humom was worried the waves were getting too big but that didn’t stop me!

My humom was quite popular on the beach because she was throwing me the tennis ball.

It was was getting too hot so we had to take a break in the shade. I got bored so I started digging a trench with my ball.

Mia: Okay mom, I’m ready to go back into the water now!

My friends Rosie and Rocco also stopped by and I played fetch with Rocco. He’s ball obsessed like me too.

We’re patiently waiting for the ball to be thrown.

The humans were getting hungry for a snack so we walked to these two trucks that have food in them!

My humom got some kind of icy treat that looked like snow! I was going to tell her to make sure not to eat any yellow snow but she got a snowball that was red. She said it tasted like cherry and it had mango drizzle on top.

Kaylie and her mom shared a treat together. I’m not sure what it was but my humom said it was ice cream inside a donut cone?

I tried to lick it when my humom was taking a picture but I wasn’t quick enough! Darn!

When we got home I was ready to take a nice nap but instead….I GOT A BATH!!!!!

Mia: Mom, how could you?? Is it because I tried to lick Kaylie’s ice cream???

Afterwards, I took my yummy yak chew and nibbled on it on the couch with my humom. It was a good day! Hope you guys had a good day too!

With the hot weather here in Vancouver, I thought I would throw it back to my first winter last year! You know…just to cool things down a bit! 😉 We had an unusually long winter, and it typically doesn’t snow as much as it did! We still had snow in April! It was crazy!

My humom remembers the first time I actually saw snow outside and took a video. If you listen closely, I actually growled at it! BOL! I apologize for the shaky camera, my humom needs to work on her video filming skills!
